You don't stand in front of this thing for 8 hours at home.
To use this on a desk while sitting means raising your hand constantly with nothing to support your hand. The only way to make this work is to make yourself a special desk where the display is placed very low and inclined.

Its about time someone has to use the power for raising a hand while working. I think working like that would lessen the normal disorders of office work... Or at least I hope so.
